Dr. Reiner's research interests mostly focus on the role and drivers of spatio-temporal variation in infectious disease transmission dynamics. Currently he is fixated on the disease ecology of the mosquito-borne pathogens malaria, dengue and West Nile virus, investigating the drivers of temporal variation (both seasonal and inter-annual variation) in incidence. Additionally, from a more methodological standpoint, he is interested in developing novel modeling frameworks to assess questions of interest that are designed to incorporate and leverage 'individual-level' data related to infectious diseases.
